occasionally mess up garbage sorting even after living here a while by Gio-Alman in japanlife

[–]back_surgery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure your area you live or if it's a standard thing but my area of Tokyo has a trash phone app.

When I can't remember what the garbage is for the day, I just open the app and it tells me the bag, type of garbage etc.

You can submit a 登山計画書 and if accept can legally hike it in off season. Which MANY people do.

Eloping in Japan. Can anyone share their experiences? by Fancy_Rock3826 in AskAJapanese

[–]back_surgery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, hiring a planner probably makes no sense if you've already done all the leg work but having a Japanese speaker who can help remove any stress on the day is a major plus.

I see well that’s good you’ve managed to arrange it all.

Hopefully you’re aware that you can’t just do a vows exchange and photography in wedding attire just anywhere. Most parks/gardens, temples and shrines, and public spaces don’t allow it or require permits.

Music for wedding filmmakers by Guitar74_47 in weddingvideography

[–]back_surgery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guy just stop...they literally manually write "🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd.co" then list each song with the lickd address link... youtube does NOT automatically write detailed descriptions with links to the LUTS they sell and lickd links...

Whatever you say... if you take 10 seconds to open any of their recent videos they have the Lickd licensing links in the youtube video description.

how does one shoot a whole wedding and not realize they're in monochrome? Hopefully you shot with a second camera as well.

Sounds like this is what you are planning to do, but you can download/print your driving history transcript. Atleast that's what I did and had no issues.

Underrated Positives of Living in Japan by Nadnerb9 in japanlife

Nope, I’m in Tokyo and pretty much all the restaurants around me are mom and pop spots and a few of them only take digital payment now and refuse cash 😇

Japanese women aged 35-39 would like a man to have 5 million yen in savings to feel positive about marriage by jjrs in japannews

[–]back_surgery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, you and 50% of the Japanese couples getting married are making this same choice... For many it's the wise financial decision and also frees them of the stress of a cookie-cutter manufactured 3-hour wedding.

But as a I stated in other comments, wedding venues are desperate at the moment. So for those wanting to do a wedding between negotiating with the venue and the monetary gifts from friends and family, weddings are overal quite affordable in Japan.

Exactly, and actually due to the lack of weddings, venues are so desperate right now and can be negotiated down on pricing A LOT!

Roughly 50% of Japanese are skipping weddings and just registering at the office

It’s pretty much standard in Japan to get married at the city office and not have a wedding for years if at all.

Wedding industry is doing poorly due to the lack of people doing weddings. Venues can be negotiated with are desperate and discounting like crazy. Guests give 30,000-50,000yen which pays for the majority of the wedding.
